Download Metadata - Showing Only 1 Result
Hello, I'm using Calibre 2.20, and whenever I edit the metadata for a book and press the [Download metadata] button, I only get one result, if any.
It also seems that the search is very picky in regards to the title and author name. If I don't get that just right, the search will not return any results. In the past it has seemed that the search was more relaxed and would return more results, and then you could pick the correct result. Is there some configuration that has the search locked down tighter? Thank you. -chris |

@chris_crawford - check Preferences->Metadata download, particularly the Max. time to wait settings, it maybe too short for 'prevailing' conditions. Also check to make sure the optional metadata download plugins you use are present and up to date.
If you can supply an ISBN you'll generally get better results, this optional PI will try to find an ISBN in the book files ==>> Extract ISBN BR |

Doesn't download, even with ISBN. Search dies immediately.

Here is what I get when trying to download. Is this an indicator of firewall problem?
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\simple_worker.py", line 51, in run File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\__init__.py", line 19, in eintr_retry_call EOFError |

Delete the downloaded install files and re-download them from http://calibre-ebook.com/download then reinstall. Run calibre in debug mode and post the result. http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....ing-on-windows bernie Last edited by gbm; 03-01-2015 at 03:00 PM. |

That error indicates something on your computer, most likely your antivirus is preventing calibre worker processes from running.

Hello everyone, Thanks for the suggestions. The problem ended up being related to my AV for some reason. When I turned off Microsoft Family Filter and Avast, the queries ran as expected.
The strange thing is, this did not seem to be an issue before upgrading to 2.20 like pcug mentioned. Hopefully this info will help someone else. -chris Last edited by chris_crawford; 03-05-2015 at 02:37 PM. |

@chris_crawford - Many (most) AV's update silently every day, some are notorious for changing white-lists, black-lists etc, also some Child Protection services have a setting that will block sites where money can be spent.

Ran Calibre in debug mode from Administrator command prompt. Got a lot of Permission Denied errors for backup of metadata. Code:
Failed to write backup metadata for id: 19860 again, giving up Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\db\backup.py", line 108, in do_one File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 57, in call_func_with_lock File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 1109, in write_backup File "site-packages\calibre\db\backend.py", line 1555, in write_backup File "site-packages\calibre\startup.py", line 168, in local_open OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied" Get the same problems downloading metadata as with the 32-bit version. ![]() |

That indicates something on your computer is preventing calibre from communicating with its worker processes, most likely an antivirus.
